Outcomes!

How do you plan your novel’s outcome? Do you write and let the journey of your characters surprise you? Or do you have a backward plan where you write with an end in mind?

In my last novel, Warm Intrigues, I pretty much knew where Phoenix and Tyre would end up, but some of the twists and turns along the way even surprised me. That is the joy of the creative process because the path meanders as it is spun with happy outcomes!
